"How do you shave in there?" - By: A Customer, 27 Apr 2008 
'Charade' stars Audrey Hepburn as a woman about to divorce her husband when she finds out he's dead already & that he left behind a large amount of (lost) money - that a lot of people want, who are willing to do anything to get it. As the tag-line says, 'you can expect the unexpected when they play Charade'.
Based on the other reviews (of the DVD with different packaging) I thought 'Charade' would be good, but perhaps not my style as I don't normallly like thrillers (I like good romantic comedies with happy endings!) but it was so good, much better than I even thought it would be & worth every star. I was hooked to the story, sitting on the edge of my sofa as twist upon twist was revealed, my heart beating during the suspenseful ending. You never know what's going to happen next.
I think Cary Grant, being twenty-five years older, was nervous about working with Audrey Hepburn but the two have real chemistry - they are able to laugh together & work together in a very natural way. 'Charade' is not Hepburn's usual innocent romantic comedy type role, & it was very interesting to see her as clever, independent Reggie.
In a nutshell, the combination of the chemistry of the two leads & the clever plot make 'Charade' a must see for any fan of Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant, thrillers or Hitchcock even, because it has a Hitchcock feel. There are no special features, but it's worth every penny even without.
